OMG... you have *got* to have some stories about those, don't you? I'd love to read that...

Actually, while it would make a great premise for a slapstick comedy movie, in real life nothing much happened.

Well, actually, the wedding party trashed a few rooms and got into a fight at some point. We gamers just did our usual thing, just like we do three times every single year. Although, for the last con at one particular hotel somebody set a fire in a hubcap in one of the stairwells... a shame nobody knew who that was or con security would have had a little chat... there wouldn't have been much left for hotel security or the cops to deal with (at the time, con security was run by a contingent of local faire folk who also gamed). Then there was the time some M:tG people got into a fight and broke a 4-inch thick marble table. At least that's what we assumed happened, since all that was left was the cracked table and mostly land cards scattered all over the room.

<snerk> Now I'm just picturing a bunch of low-rent Gambit-wannabes flinging Tims at each other and screeching about action order for instant versus interrupt effects.

Wait until you find a well-filled sanitary pad in the hallway, used condoms hidden in a fold-out bed, or until you have guests who set off fireworks in the room or break out the window with a brick and jump out because they're high on cough syrup and think the people in the next room are coming through the walls to get them.

And just wait until you confront a bathroom covered in urine or vomit. Well, almost covered, they were careful to miss the toilet completely.

The next day, the groom marched three very embarrassed friends of his down to the reception, who were only too happy to pay for a replacement of the furniture if the police would remain uninvolved in the affair...

Major bonus points to the groom for not only identifying the culprits, but for forcing them to do the right thing.

Don't fret... I assure you I've felt your pain in that regard as well. They'd had... corn... for lunch, too. And she stood there smirking at me while I cleaned it up, too, the bitch.

It's kind of a tradition for German weddings that the guests will try to get into the newlyweds' apartment or hotel room and play some pranks. These can rank from the harmless (spray a heart with shaving cream on the mirror, fill the microwave with peanuts) over the more annoying (plant a Bonsai in the toilet, fill the hallway floor with paper cups full of water) to the bizarre or destructive (your imagination is the limit).

Yep, pranks are common. For example, when one of my college friends got married, several people in his family had a little fun. That is, they put his Buick (which was decorated...and parked in front of the church) up on blocks...and put the wheels in their suite They thought it was hilarious--it was a well-timed prank, and wasn't destructive at all. In fact, it took some careful planning, and some assistance from another friend at the local AAA office. He was able to remove the wheels, and slip back into the service without being missed.

I wouldn't be too surprised if he deduced something from "somehow a few guests had gotten ahold of one".

but for forcing them to do the right thing.

The "groom was threatening bodily harm (loudly)" part might also have contributed.

Why, precisely, was she still THERE?

For example, when one of my college friends got married, several people in his family had a little fun. That is, they put his Buick (which was decorated...and parked in front of the church) up on blocks...and put the wheels in their suite.

I remember when my friend His Majesty got married, while they were inside the house at one point, a bunch of us were out decorating the car with shaving cream, that stuff you can write on windows with, toilet paper, cans, etc. The funny part was, the car was not my friend's, but his grandfather's, who was a deacon at the church where the wedding had taken place. So while we were laughing our asses off, we also kept saying, "We're going to heellll for this....."

In fact, it took some careful planning, and some assistance from another friend at the local AAA office. He was able to remove the wheels, and slip back into the service without being missed.

I am impressed. Not that he was able to do this without being missed. More that he was able to do this without getting filthy!

Doesn't make the groom any less cool!

Sounds like something I came up with for one of my stories . . . but more on the macabre side.

The rose petals scattered on the floor from the living area and into the master bedroom were one thing (the petals even covered the bed) but hanging a life-like decoy of the bride's deceased grandfather (who was a well known spy chief in his day) in the shower stall was a bit much.

The groom was a bit put out by it while the bride (who is a bit of a computer nerd) saw potential. She later got to upgrade it (with a bit of help) and had it transported to a hotel suite in the Virgin Islands to show off to her twin sister and new brother in law (who probably was the one who came up with hanging the decoy in the bathroom to begin with.)

He had a set of overalls, which kept the suit clean. Those, along with his gloves, were dumped in his truck...which was conveniently parked out of sight.

Pre-planned. Very devious. I like it!

That's when I'd break out the rule that I'm not allowed to clean with guests present. It wouldn't matter if there was no such rule, I'd break it out anyway. >_<

Yeah, he was pretty cool. Seemed to run in the family; his father, who paid for the wedding, dropped 1,000 Euros in tip to split between the five servers who'd been there for the night. That was definitely one of the better weddings we had in the hotel.

I could never do house keeping at a hotel, depending on how bad our bathroom at work is I get the management to clean it because, if I have to fight puking when I see something, it not worth cleaning up. Ditto on the needles thing, I don't get paid enough to deal with them when they get found. Apparently, I'm a good worker otherwise because I have flat out told management a few times, "Hell no that is my limit, if you want write me up fire me I don't give a shit, I'm not doing it" and still have my job. Although, with our new DM I think he would be understanding considering others who have actually participated in fraud, etc, etc and have jobs still.
